Awesome Concerts: Who’s with me?

I’m pretty frickin excited about some upcoming shows. I haven’t yet bought tickets because I think I’m the only one that expresses any excitement. I’d prefer to drag someone along with me so here is my sell:

Menomena – Thursday, October 7th @ 8PM @ Cat’s Cradle.

Menomena is phenomenal. They thrive on an interesting sound that is very emotionally invocative.

Take a look at the first Menomena song that drew me into the band: (You’re required to crank the volume)

Here is another great Menomena video:

After seeing those, and hearing how awesome it is, how could you not want to come to Cat’s Cradle with me next Thursday.

The Thermals – Saturday, October 16th @ 8:30PM @ King’s Barcade

I first heard of this band in the closing credits of Weeds. Damn they were good. Here is an example:

Muse and Metric, Tuesday, October 26th @ 7:30PM @ RBC Center

Muse, I don’t even need to show you why these guys are awesome. If you don’t know already you’re not invited.

Metric, here is why I love this band:

Say Anything, Motion City Soundtrack, and Saves The Day – Saturday, November 13th @ 7PM @ Somewhere in Charlotte.

Say Anything rocks my socks off. Let’s see if I can find a decent example:

ANYWAY – you should clearly come with me to see these bands. Whoever you are.

You know you want to.
